Window Space
Window space can greatly impact energy efficiency. The ideal placement and number of windows is determined by the orientation of a home. Different grades of glazing can also affect the amount of thermal energy flowing in and out.

Every Fairmont Home has a 6 star energy rating
To achieve a six-star rating, the Fairmont design team carefully considers orientation, layout, zoning, insulation, windows, shading, ventilation and draught proofing.
We put a lot of focus on energy efficiency because it saves you money!

Solar Orientation
The starting point of every Fairmont Homes design is site orientation. Ideally, the design team aims for a north-south orientation to maximise northern solar exposure. If this isn't possible, they work out other options to keep energy costs to an absolute minimum.
Naturally Timber
Fairmont Homes use timber frames as they are a sustainable option, a great natural insulator that uses less emissions to produce. Saving you money on the build.

| 10° | cooler in summer |
| 5° | warmer in winter |
